Vortex condensation and black hole in the matrix model of 2-d string theory
Vladimir A. Kazakov
We review recent results in the matrix model approach to the 2-d non-critical string theory compactified in time, in the phase of condensation of the world sheet vortices (above th…
Solvable Matrix Models
V. A. Kazakov
We review some old and new methods of reduction of the number of degrees of freedom from ~N^2 to ~N in the multi-matrix integrals.
A Matrix Model Solution of Hirota Equation
Vladimir A. Kazakov
We present a hermitian matrix chain representation of the general solution of the Hirota bilinear difference equation of three variables. In the large N limit this matrix model pro…
Advances in Large N Group Theory and the Solution of Two-Dimensional R^2 Gravity
V. A. Kazakov, M. Staudacher, T. Wynter
We review the recent exact solution of a matrix model which interpolates between flat and random lattices. The importance of the results is twofold: Firstly, we have developed a ne…
